Flight Path
Plaisance to Mysore is 2,599 miles (4,182 km), a flight of about 4 hours 15 minutes.
The flight path crosses the Arabian Sea heading northwest from Mauritius toward the Indian subcontinent. Midway, you'll pass over open ocean with no major landmarks visible. As you approach the Indian coast near Karnataka, the Western Ghats become visible as a north-south running mountain range. The transition from ocean to the Deccan Plateau is gradual, with the coastline appearing around 90 minutes before landing. The plateau's agricultural landscape dominates the final approach phase.
